    12th century church composed of a nave of three bays, a fourth bay forming a choir, and a semi-circular apse. Transepts were added. The south chapel was added in the 15th century and the north chapel in the mid-19th century. The facade has a heavy gable at the bottom of which opens a door with a trefoiled tympanum (12th century) under two ores scrolls, crowned by a cornice and corbels.

    The portal is decorated with sculptures (angel's head; goat's head; flora; man with accentuated virility; chimera or griffin...). The bell tower has two floors, the first being decorated on its four sides with three blind arcatures; the second, which contains the belfry, has each face pierced with three bays separated by twin columns.

    Of Romanesque origin, this church was remodeled in the 17th century (two chapels), then in the 19th century. Its three-bay nave is unique and its choir is narrower. It has a portal with a trefoiled tympanum and capitals decorated with curved leaves, heads and griffins.
